Kitty: Don't laugh. I was in middle school when I came up with this idea.

Rogue: Why the fuck am I gay?

Kitty: It was originally Sting that was gay, but then I decided that I ship him and Yukino too much. Don't worry. The person I ship you with will be gender bended so that you two will be together. BECAUSE LOVE ALWAYS PREVAILS, NO MATTER WHAT WORLD YOU ARE IN *tears streaming down my face*

Rogue: …

Lucy's POV

I slammed my locker door shut after grabbing my camera and books. You're probably wondering 'what's with the camera?' Well you see, I, Lucy Heartfilia, have the pleasure of being on the yearbook committee. It's not bad; I rather enjoy it actually. I don't, however, enjoy having people come up to me and asking if I would put their photo in the yearbook. Normally, they get turned down flat, sometimes in a bitchy way. For that reason, I have become known as 'Bitch'. People actually call me that, and I respond for some reason.

All the people swarmed the hallways while they rushed to get to their next class. I'm in the clear for next period (which is thankfully lunch), so I take my time walking through the hallways. There is always a good opportunity for a good picture. You just have to have the time and patience to look for it.

"Ah, the cruelties of high school!" Rogue said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I hummed in agreement before asking what happened to him today. The poor boy shook his head and let out an exaggerated sigh. "Oh, dear Lucy," he said before shaking his head, "too much has happened. One, the love of my life is engaged. Two, I still have not done my physics homework. Three, the food here fucking sucks ass, and that's my job." I laughed at his joke, the hidden meaning behind it making even more hilarious.

Rogue is gay. Like hella gay. Like so gay if you shine a light on him, he'll fucking sparkle and shoot rainbows out of his ass. But he's a secret gay, so I'm the only one who knows. Well, me and his cat, Frosch. He can't 'come out' because it would be super bad if his homophobic dad found out. He would beat him to a pulp then send him off to gay correctional facilities or whatever the hell they are called. Don't ask how I know this.

All of that is bad, but the worse part involves me. I am completely and utterly in love with my gay best friend. Yeah. It fucking sucks ass.

Rogue turned his head towards the bathroom when he heard some guy laughing. Not just any guy. Sting Eucliffe laughed. At his girlfriend. Who is pregnant. It's another one of those high school pregnancy thing, but their parents actually condoned this. They are to be married after high school due to them being rich and shit. Their companies are going to combine. To celebrate, Sting and Yukino decided to get down and dirty, and a couple months later, here comes the announcement of Yukino being pregnant! Rogue was heartbroken when he found out.

"He's a dick," I said to make him feel better. Rogue shook his head and laughed a little. "I would like to suck that dick then," he whispered back. I nearly choked on my spit. Leave it to Rogue to say that.

Sting wasn't the only one in front of the bathroom. The whole group of Diamonds were standing there. The Diamonds are the popular people which consisted of several boys and girls. Trust me, there are too many to count. If I did try, I'd break my brain. Anyways, they were hanging around there (I don't know why and I don't want to know) and just talking. It looked nice, so I decided to take a picture of them without them knowing. I was going to show them it afterwards if my idea wasn't totally ruined by Erza, the star runner of the Cross Country team.

"What do you think you are doing?" She asked me. Oh shit, I am screwed. "Uh… uh…" I stammered. Smooth, Lucy, smooth. "I'm just taking a picture for the yearbook. I thought it would be nice." Her eyes glared at me as if daring me to say more. Shit. There is no way in hell would I be saying more under that look. Rogue thankfully came to my rescue.

"Lucy's on the yearbook committee. She just wanted to take your picture. She would have shown you right after." His personality totally changed whenever he was talking to anybody who wasn't me. It was kind of cold but cool. One of the many reasons why I fell in love with him.

Erza's glare didn't let up until Jellal placed a hand on her shoulder. He smiled and shoved her behind him nervously. "Sorry," he said. "If you would like, you can take a picture of us now." You could still see Erza's red head peeking from behind him. I waved my hand in dismissal of the idea and shook my head. My bangs shifted slightly in front of my eyes, impairing my vision a bit. Smiling, I said, "Don't worry. It's fine now. I wanted to get one of you two caught off guard. Maybe another time?"

It was evident that the boy was disappointed. Perhaps he actually wanted the picture. Before he could reply, his girlfriend stepped in front and grabbed my shoulders. She inspected me, turning me this way and that before she was satisfied. A smirk crept up her face when she was done. "Yes," she said. "You'll do nicely." Rogue and I shared a look before Erza called over Mirajane, the cheer captain. If these two were involved together in anything, you know you were screwed. It's just an unspoken rule in Fairy Tail High.

Mira waltzed over to us with grace. Her bangs were down (which was rare for her) and framed her pretty blue eyes. She and Erza rivaled each other in beauty. "Yes, Erza? Is there something that I could help you with?" Her eyes widened at the sight of me. To be honest, it sort of creeped me out.

"Oh, Erza, she's perfect!" Mira squealed. The bell rang throughout the halls, and it was then that I noticed that we four-Jellal had left at some point- were the only people in the halls. The Diamonds already went to lunch (how lucky are we?) With no one in the halls, Mira had a full blown fan-girl attack. I don't know what it was over, and I was really afraid to find out. Rogue, however, was not.

He stepped forward and crossed his arms. It was his older brother pose that he used whenever someone picked on his younger sister, Wendy. He glared at the two Diamonds. "She's perfect for what?" He growled.

Both girls shared a look before smiling widely. It was Erza who spoke up first. "Well, Lucy here has the potential of being the girlfriend for a very lucky guy. Don't worry! We'll help you get with him!" She looked so proud of herself. I don't know if I said this already but I'm afraid. Like really scared. I did not want to become the next matchmaking project of the infamous matchmaker and she-devil. When I looked at Rogue, I saw the interest in his eyes. That only made me even more scared.

"Who's the guy?" He asked. Mira motioned for Erza to take me to the lunchroom. Her grip on me was strong so I couldn't get away. The last thing I heard before walking into the loud lunchroom was Rogue saying, "I'm in."


The worst part about the day is leaving the school. It's not really hard emotionally, but it is hard physically. Everyone is rushing to get to their car/bus in order to get home. I understand people, I really do, but have some courtesy while walking! Jeez…

I like to wait out the annoying people and just stand at my locker for a while. I'm one of those lucky people who got the top locker that has no bottom neighbor. That means I'm basically free to do whatever I want. Okay, not everything. But I do get more freedom to stand in front of than most people do.

My phone sounded with the familiar ring for a text. I looked down at the name only to see that it was Rogue. I really shouldn't be surprised. After all, he is my only friend.

'Sorry, Princess. I got soccer practice today. It was last min. Can I make up coffee day tomorrow?'

I sighed. Of course some last minute soccer practice would ruin our coffee day! It has been a tradition that we go after school to Star-Crap (as Rogue so kindly calls it) after every Thursday for the past three years! Normally, soccer is on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays with Friday being game day. They only get one day off during the school days, but lately, it has been all week with State coming up in a month or so. Sighing once more, I responded:

'How about I watch you practice then we go get it? I need some action shots anyways.'

A few minutes later came the text:

'Sure. But there's a LOT of half-naked guys. Not that I don't mind… ;)'

I rolled my eyes. Any chance he gets, he tries to point out that he's gay. It's almost like he is just trying to remind me that I won't even get a shot at him. That fucking hurts so bad. Why did he of all people had to swing for the other team?

It didn't take me long to reach the soccer/football field. It was right next to the building that my locker was in. I wished that I had a little more time so that I could prepare myself for the hotness that is my best friend. I just wanted to wrap him up and take him whole.

He wasn't kidding when he said that there were a lot of half-naked guys. The amount of girls sitting in the bleachers ogling them was incredible. Some of them were even drooling. Gosh, clean up your mouth, hoes. The Holy L-rd is watching, you nasties.

I took a seat near the bottom of bleachers. It was the perfect angle for getting action shots. I've already gotten the permission from the coach to do it like three weeks ago, but I never gotten around to it. Okay, okay, I'm lazy. Get over it.

My eyes searched the team for the familiar black hair of Rogue. He always kept it up it a ponytail when he was at practice or anything with water. It just adds like seventy thousand more sexy to him. I don't even know if that was a grammatically correct sentence, and I don't fucking care. That's how hot I find the guy.

Something caught my eye. There was a new guy on the team. Freshman? No. I would've seen him on the roster. Plus, he looked about our age. So he might've transferred in just a short time ago and joined the team. That doesn't excuse the fact that he was looking at my best friend in a totally non-comradery way.

I leaned over to the nearest person, which thankfully happened to be Yukino, and asked, "Who's number 29?" She turned to me with a dumbfounded expression. She blinked a couple of times. "You mean Michael? He just transferred in January and almost didn't make the try-out date. Don't go after him. He's totally gay."

With a mutter of thanks, I turned back around to face the boys. They had just started laps. You could hear all the girls screaming with joy. One girl went as far as to yell 'I LOVE YOU' to some guy. It was pretty gross if you ask me. I shouldn't be talking, because I had mainly came just to see Rogue shirtless. Speaking of which, where is he…?

The boys were just rounding the corner when I spotted him. He grinned and waved a little before going back to his pace. It was going quite slow if you ask me. But hey, what can you? I used their sort-of-slow speed to get some great shots. A few turned out pretty blurry, but for the most part, it all turned out pretty great. Just as I was getting into, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to face the girl who had tapped me. Why, it was none other than Lisanna Strauss. She was the junior matchmaker of the school, right after her sister. She was the girl you went to if Mira was too busy setting some other poor, unfortunate soul up with another unfortunate soul.

The white haired girl crossed her arms. "You do know that you aren't allowed to be taking pictures of the boy while they are practicing, right?" She asked. It was hard not to go off on her ass, but I held it in ever so carefully. I nodded and pointed to my little lanyard around my neck. It had a thing that showed that I was an official member of the yearbook committee. Yay me.

"Yeah, I know," I said, "but I had special permission from the coach to do it. After all, we do need some soccer shots for the yearbook!" I watched as the gears in her head turned as she tried to figure out what I said. Now, Lisanna was not stupid. She has all honors and a few AP classes, and she's passing them with high As. But despite all of this, her academic grades have nothing to do with her common sense. She's booksmart not street smart, you know?

Lisanna just huffed and went back to cheering on Natsu. Hot, hot, hot was the only thing that came to mind when you wanted to describe him. He's hot. Literally. It's like his body temperature is higher than a normal human being. And he's hotheaded. And gorgeous, but my heart still belongs to Rogue.

He glanced over this way, smiled, and waved. He had his pink hair pulled back with a purple bandana. Okay, somebody needs to come and get that sexy thing out of my face. And that one. And that one. Too many hot guys at our school.

Anyways, Natsu's eyes swept over me before stopping at my own orbs. He stared at me for a bit then went back to the scrimmage. I blinked. What was that? Did I see that right? I'm going crazy. There was no way that he was looking at me!

I watched as Rogue walked up to him. He put his arm over Natsu's shoulders (I bet he is enjoying that) and leaned in. Whatever he had said had the pinkette glowing with happiness. At least, I think it was happiness. He was bouncing up and down uncontrollably.

The practice went on until five. Most of the girls had gone home, and a few stragglers stayed. Lisanna, of course, had stayed the entire practice. Yuck. Her glare had burned holes into my head non-stop. I was so tempted to call her out on it.

"Hey, Princess!" I heard somebody call. Normally, it's just Rogue that calls me that, but the school's playboy did give me the name. Loke also gave me the nickname 'Bitch' but it doesn't matter.

The golden maned boy smirked as he walked up to me. He flicked his hair away from his dark brown eyes. "How are you doing, baby?" His confidence oozed off of him in waves. I nearly gagged on it. Smiling wryly, I said, "Fine, Loke, until you showed up and cursed me with your presence."

He recoiled back like I just slapped his precious face. His face feigned mock hurt. "Ouch," he said. "That hurt, Princess! It's almost like you don't want to be around me!"

"She doesn't," Rogue said coming to my rescue. I don't know when he got there, and how he snuck up on us, but thank goodness that he did. He cracked his knuckles. "Now beat it." Loke put his hands up and backed away. He may call himself 'Leo the Lion', but he really is just a chicken.

My best friend turned to me. He pointed to the boys' locker room before saying, "I'm going to go shower. Be out in ten." Then he ran away to join the team in the shower. Bet he's enjoying that. Lucky bastards getting to see him naked.

Rogue lied. I sat on that bench for a good twenty minutes before the first came out, and it wasn't even him. It was Natsu. Behind me, you could hear Lisanna squeal. "Natsu! You took so long!" Gosh, can someone just shut the girl the fuck up?!

Her grip on Natsu looked like it could kill him. He just awkwardly patted her back before attempting to pry her off. Just the sight of the two made me uncomfortable, and it looks like he was too. "Lis," he gasped out. "Can you go to the car and start it? I have some things that I need to do first." Lisanna was disappointed, but she did it anyways. He waited until she was out of an earshot before he relaxed. "She's my best friend but damn…"

I shook my head and continued to flip through my pictures. I really like how they all look. Only a few can be submitted for publishing, so I'm going to keep all that don't make it. I have a huge wall just filled with photos that I've taken since middle school. Each time I have a new addition to my collection, my ego gets bigger.

"Woah." Natsu said while leaning on my shoulder. I jumped, his voice jarring me out of my thoughts. I didn't even know that he sat down until he said something. Placing a hand on my heart, I muttered, "Jeez."

He leaned back, apparently noticing my discomfort. "Sorry," he muttered, "but those were really good. What are they for?"

Something just made me want to tell him. I don't know if it was the innocence in his voice or the way his eyes gleamed like a child wanting to know why the world was round. Clearing my throat, I shuffled through the album until I found what I was looking for-a picture of him and Sting celebrating after Sting scored the winning goal at last week's game. "For the yearbook, mostly. But I also take pictures for events like sports banquets or the school website." Why am I telling him this?

His eyes went wide as he reached for my camera. I smacked his hand away, afraid that he would scratch the lense or something. "No touchy," I told him. He looked sad, so I continued to talk. "I'll print it off for you if you would like me to?"

Almost immediately, his face lightened up. He jumped up from his seat, scaring me half to death again. Where does he get all of his energy? "Really?" He yelled. "You would really do it? That's awesome!"

A honk interrupted his little joy dance. His face dropped a little, but he quickly covered it up. Natsu reached down and grabbed his red bag. "Sorry, but I got to go!" He turned around to leave but suddenly stopped. I raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"What's your name?"

"Why?"

"So I know who to look for for the picture."

I gave a small smile. "It's Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia!"

Natsu grinned before running to his car backwards. "See you later then, Heartfilia!" Then he turned back around and got in his car.

Not too long after he left, Rogue came out. His eyebrows were all scrunched together in confusion. "Was that Natsu Dragneel?" He asked, but it sounded like he already knew the answer. I nodded anyways just to pleased him.

I stood up from my spot, and together, we walked to my car. Rogue tossed his bag into the backseat before he asked the question he's apparently been dying to ask. "Why the actual fuck was Natsu fucking Dragneel talking to you?" I glared at him. "Is it bad that I was talking to him?" I asked. I didn't really care about whether it was bad or not, but I just wanted to get a rise out of him and this seemed to work.

Rogue's eyes went wide. "N-no! There's nothing wrong with it! Just… Shit… Can we just go?" I laughed, turned on the car, and drove out of the parking lot.


Star-Crap got its name because it tastes like shit. Rogue gave it the nickname back when we were kids and absolutely despised coffee. We started to like it when we got older, but the name sort of stuck.

"Do you have something against Natsu?" I asked as we sat at our usual seat. Rogue rolled his red eyes. Unusual, yes. Both he and his cousin, Gajeel, share them. Wendy got lucky and looked like her mother. He took a sip of his drink then said, "Nothing. I have nothing against him." He fiddled with his bangs. It was a nervous habit to do that when he was hiding something.

"Rogue?" I drawled out his name. "What are you hiding?"
He cracked a smile but tried to cover it up by drinking some coffee. Just what is he hiding? "I-I'm not hiding any-" he cleared his throat "anything, Princess! What are you talking about?"

I leaned forward. Whatever he was hiding was going to be good. If he's this nervous, that must mean that it is big news. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. It just means that it's huge. I gave a low chuckled before I asked him again. "Oh, dear Rogue! What are you keeping from me? You're very best friend?"

He flinched. I always pulled the best friend card when I wanted some kind of information from him. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to use it. Grinning, I pushed forward. Just a little more and he'll crack. "There's something that you are keeping from me, and I bet it has something to do with Natsu. Can you just tell me?" So close, so close, I am so close!

He gulped before looking away. His eyes flickered between me and the interesting plant in the far corner of the room. I bet he's wondering just what made that plant look so green. "I'm not saying anything because there is nothing! So stop asking!" He managed to say. He is a huge liar.

I slumped down into my chair and pretended to be defeated. "Okay, okay. You win." I said. My friend visibly relaxed by also slumping in his chair. Oh how cute. He thinks he's off the hook. That's going to change soon. I was about to bounce back when his phone ringed. Our eyes met, and then we both reached for it. Luckily, I beat him to it. He groaned and leaned forward onto the table. Smugly, I unlocked his phone to read the message. "Just what do you not want me to se-" I stopped when I saw it.

'Hey, Rogue. This is Erza. I'm texting you to say that Project NaLu is underway! We will totally get them two hooked up!'

I looked up from the phone slowly. Project NaLu? What the fuck is that? Is that me and some guy that Rogue decided to hook me up with again? And why is fucking Erza involved in this fucking crazy plan?!

He must've seen the fury on my face because he shifted in his seat uncomfortably. His eyes shifted from side to side again. "You weren't supposed to know about it until after we got you two together…" He cleared his throat. "I guess the cat's out of the bag now…"

I glared at him. "And just who is this 'Na' person that I am paired up with?" That just made him squirm even more than he already is. Who the fuck is 'Na'?! He opened his mouth, and I was so not prepared for what happened next. I should've been considering everything that has happened in our relationship, but I am unfortunately an idiot.

"The reason why I was acting so weird about Natsu earlier was because he is who 'Na' person is…"

I am totally fucking screwed.

Kitty: 4026 words without my commentary. That's impressive. Love Sucks used to be my longest story, but this has taken at least eight or nine pages. Anyways, I am like so in love with this story. The POVs are probably going to change every chapter between Lucy and Natsu. A few will be Gruvia point of views.

Rogue: I am still not happy to be gay…

Kitty: Are you against gays?

Rogue: No, I'm not gay, though. So why are you making me it?

Kitty: BECAUSE IT IS MY STORY ON FUCKING FANFICTION AND I SUPPORT GAY RIGHTS ALTHOUGH I AM A STRAIGHT FEMINIST SO DON'T FUCK WITH ME!
